One is a Homelite 245 (with a 16" bar) and the other is a Jonsered Automatic (12" bar). Looks like that one has an all aluminum case, which is kinda odd to me. Even dad's CS8000 Echo (what a beast that thing is....) has some plastic on it. Maybe I just grew up in the "plastic age"....

Fortunately my Weed Eater brand trimmer (4 yrs old) and Sthil Chainsaw (25+ yrs old) both run on 40:1, however, I have had tillers and trimmers that used 24:1 and 16:1 in the past and outboards are a completely different story .
